VLC         IGMP        wireless          AP
server      Switch          AP

If I broadcast as described in the above schema. and I
have 5 programs yet only the client requested one out
of these five then the WIRELESS AP will only be filled
with that stream untill the client decides to leave
that IGMP request and attend to another one then it
would take like some minutes so that the switch to
turn off the previously requested one the first one
then it would be free for the second one to pass
freely .....??????????


Do you know any reliable wireless Bridges Or access
points to be able to function good with My
schema.?????

Best Regards
F.B.
